The International Association for Colonial and Postcolonial Linguistics aims to bring together linguists and language workers, who see their professional activities as being located in and exposed to colonial and postcolonial contexts, and who are interested in evaluating, deconstructing, and discussing the historical base of their linguistic research.
IACPL provides a platform for intensive networking, the organisation of international conferences and workshops, as well as a newly established journal- Journal of Postcolonial Linguistics (ISSN 2670-1421).
